Indicated

Located NE of the square in Kilcock village and indicated, but not named, on the 1st. Ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map. Known locally as 'Tubbermohocca' and dedicated to the 6th century St Coca, sister of St Kevin of Glendalough, the well was apparently covered in the mid-19th century. (O'Donoghue 1999, 170-71). Local tradition recalls a pattern day at the well on the 6th of June (pers. comm. Mr. Michael Durkan). It was rediscovered recently when a man-hole cover was lifted to reveal a circular well (diam c. 0.8m), several metres deep and lined with small, undressed mortared stone walling. The well was dry on day inspected. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

Linked to St. Coca, a 6th-century saint and sister of St. Kevin of Glendalough, the site is traditionally associated with healing and pilgrimage. Local folklore connects the well with miraculous cures, particularly for eye ailments, and it was once a place of seasonal devotion and ritual washing.
